Maura Higgins’ next move ‘revealed’ after Danny Jones ‘drunken kiss’
She's reportedly landed a huge TV deal.
Maura Higgins has reportedly landed a huge TV deal, weeks after she appeared to kiss Danny Jones at a Brits afterparty.
The Love Island star, 34, has not publicly addressed their embrace but has been sharing social media about various work projects, including a business trip to LA and a gin event launch with Margot Robbie.
Her next venture is seeing her return to screens stateside, as it’s been claimed she’s landed a US telly deal after winning the hearts of America last year as the host of Love Island US.
A source revealed: ‘Maura’s signed on for a new series of Love Island USA – she was so popular after the last season it was clear bosses would sign her up.’
‘They don’t care about any personal life drama she has in the UK – she’s been a huge hit with US audiences,’ an insider added to The Sun.
This comes after her first on-screen appearance since the embrace with her I’m A Celebrity co-star, Danny, 38, on the BBC’s reboot of game show Blankety Blank.

A source told The Sun: ‘Since that unfortunate incident, Maura’s kept to modelling jobs and posting glossy social media videos, but this will be her first TV appearance.
‘She’s opening herself up to ribbing and scrutiny, but the BBC has ensured the drunken kiss stays off-limits because it’s a family show.’
Danny apologised to his wife Georgia after reports of the embrace emerged (Picture: David Fisher/Shutterstock)While Maura has remained silent on the kissing scandal, Danny issued a public apology to his wife, model Georgia Horsley, 38.
The McFly singer has been married to Georgia, a former Miss England, since 2014, and they have a son, Cooper, together.
In an Instagram Story, he wrote: ‘Sorry it’s taken me a while to post this but I’ve taken some time out to be with those closest to me.
‘I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately.
‘I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.’
